DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

Users who authorize the agreement will be allowed to order from merchants online via FoodLINE. The website offers a unique way for you to send your orders to merchants displayed. The fundamental purpose of FoodLINE is to provide easy and hassle-free service to customers, connecting them to merchants in their located area that offer delivery, takeaway, table bookings and appointments. Customers can build orders by using our interactive order menus and submit them in just a click.

The participating merchant is solely responsible for the preparation and delivery of the product. Users should be aware that the merchant will always ensure that delivery is on time. However, specific external forces that are well beyond their control (traffic blockades, roadblocks, weather) can affect delivery. FoodLINE will inform you if such an unexpected delay is made known to us by the merchant.

FoodLINE does not sell or participate in any production. It only provides users with the ability to find nearby merchants to order. The merchants are legally obligated to comply with local laws, rules and regulations and industry standards about preparation, sale, marketing and safety of the products. FoodLINE does not verify their credentials, nor test the ingredients or quality of products being sold. FoodLINE in no way guarantees the quality of any product or that the merchant complies with applicable laws or that the item delivered to the user will match the item displayed or described on the online menu.

FoodLINE will not be held accountable if any product or services offered by merchants is deemed unhealthy or cause an injury or illness. The delivered item does not meet the customer’s expectations. You are solely responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the product offered. FoodLINE will not be liable or responsible for any inaccurate addresses provided by the user.

ORDER PLACEMENT AND PROCESSING

After selecting your food items from the business listing of your choice, click on the “Checkout” button to send your order. Ensure that all information provided by you is correct, as you will not be able to modify your order once you’ve clicked on the “Checkout” button. Once your order has been successfully received, FoodLINE will process your order and redirect you to the Order Confirmation page. If your mode of payment is unauthorized, your order will not be placed and you will be redirected to the previous page.

ORDER CANCELLATION

The window of time reserved for you to cancel your order once it has been placed is 5 minutes. FoodLINE also has the right to cancel an order if the product descriptions and pricing provided on the website is inaccurate. Merchants have the right to cancel orders that have been sent to them. FoodLINE and our partner reserve the rights to cancel any order, before or after accepting the order, and will inform you immediately of any such cancellation.

MEMBERSHIP SYSTEM

Each FOODLINE member and user will have a “user name” and “password” created by the member. No two members of FoodLINE can have the same “user name”. The “password” is only known to the member and can be changed at any time. Members are solely responsible for the protection of their passwords. FoodLINE is not accountable for any problems that may arise from a member’s password's wrongful use. From time to time, members will be informed of deals and promotions taking place in their areas. FoodLINE does not share user information with third party companies. The member’s phone number may be shared with the business they have ordered to ensure fast and accurate delivery. If a user is looking to order from FoodLINE, they must first enter their “user name” and “password” at the given text fields. This process is called “login”.
